City Down Below (ver 2) Chords
Key:Bm
Capo: 2
I haven't been able to figure out the chords for the intro or interludes, but I do know that at least
the intro chords are some species of the first verse and the interlude chords play off the chorus.
Have fun!
Am G Am
Well once upon a wilderness in Canaan's promised land
Am E
God revealed to Abraham the judgment he had planned
Am G Am
For the wicked, fallen people there who lived down in the bale
G Em Am
He was going to rain a city wide with brimstone and hail
Am G Am
Now looking over Sodom with a clear unhindered view
Am E
Abraham stepped forward to ask God if he ought to
Am G Am
Pointing out the chance that there might be an upright man
G E
Living there in Sodom dear old Abraham began
Am C G
Would you give them one more chance, Father, please?
Am C G
For I know they've sinned against your just decrees
Am C
But if there's 50 righteous men
G E
Will you stop and think again?
F G Am
Would you spare that city down below (down below)?
F G Am
Would you spare that wicked city down below?
Am G Am
Well the mighty Lord agreed to this and said he'd stay his hand
Am E
If the said amount of righteous men were living in the land
Am G Am
So encouraged by this guarantee and vow of mercy kind
G E
Abraham went further still, before he changed his mind
Am C G
Would you give them one more chance, Father, please?
Am C G
For I know they've sinned against your just decrees
Am C
But if there's 40 righteous men
G E
Will you stop and think again?
F G Am
Would you spare that city down below (down below)?
F G Am
Would you spare that wicked city down below?
Am G Am
This request was granted; surely mighty God had spoken true
Am E
He'd forgive them all the folly if they found a holy few
Am G Am
But Abraham protested there might be a couple less
G E
God, please don't be angry if I make another guess
Am C G
Would you give them one more chance, Father, please?
Am C G
For I know they've sinned against your just decrees
Am C
But if there's 30, 20, 10
G E
Will you stop and think again?
F G Am
Would you spare that city down below (down below)?
F G Am
Would you spare that wicked city down below?
Am G Am
Well nowadays it seems we can do just as we please
Am E
And no one's gonna stop us now or force us to our knees
Am G Am
It seems like we've forgotten that the God of Canaan's land
G E
Is still the judge in heaven holding mercy in His hand
Am C G
Would you give us one more chance, Father, please?
Am C G
For I know we've sinned against your just decrees
Am C
But if you save these broken men
G E
We'll rise up to walk again
F G Am
Would you spare that city down below (down below)?
F G Am
Would you spare that wicked city down below?
